[rdking647]

if you have covid you MUST quarantine for 10 days. no ifs ands or buts

failure is a felony punishable by 5 years in prison


every state should do this. and if your kid has covid and you send them to school you should face doube that plus your kids should be removed since you are an unfit parent

1. Wow.

Color me surprised.

2. How is this even possibly enforceable?

It seems like a great idea.

I’d like to know how on earth it gets implemented.

5. It's an implicit death sentence

Such an infection concentration in the jail will be Darwin at work.

6. TYRANNY!!1!1!!

What about their freedumbs? This is straight up tyranny, folks. They can't go to the local watering hole with their buddies? That ain't gonna' play in the south. No siree.

7. Well, so much for ridiculous rightwing resistance.

I hope Florida follows suit-- well, deSantis won't.

8. I saw a teacher post on Facebook that even though her husband was in the hospital with Covid

and she knew she was exposed and likely infected, she went to school anyway and taught her class all week in Wylie, Texas.

Now she is very sick with Covid and her two kids are also infected.

I think you should have to quarantine if you are living in a house with someone who is Covid positive.

I just can't believe how irresponsible people are being.
